As many as 1000 Service Employees International Union (SEIU) workers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are considering going on strike on Thanksgiving eve in what is the busiest travel day of the year.

Andrew Gross-Gaitan, the director of the Southern California Airports Division of SEIU, said the protest would be in response to an LAX contractor that failed to comply with the citys Living Wage Ordinance.

They just convinced the California Electorate to raise Taxes on themselves to save the Teachers Union and they also convinced the Voters that Union Dues should be taken without permission and used to Elect Democrats.

Next up Card Check. Obama is licking his purple lips just thinking about it. He has Political Capital coming out of those big ole Dumbo ears of his and he intends to spend it.

Remember to thank Family, Friends and Neighbors who Voted to reelect our first Marxist President.
I do every chance I get.

Feel bad for those who want to travel to see their family. However, I hope they do this - gonna p*ss more off about unions and continue to break their backs. Think Hostess Baker's union killing over 18,000 jobs and all the hundreds/thousands of ancillary jobs.

What was that old saying? "Trust the Union Label" or something to that affect? Love watching liberals kill themselves. And no, they no longer get 99 weeks of unemployment as of December 31st. Too bad - so sad.

"They just convinced the California Electorate to raise Taxes on themselves to save the Teachers Union and they also convinced the Voters that Union Dues should be taken without permission and used to Elect Democrats."

Actually, California voted down Proposition 38 which was THE big tax increase for the teachers. Proposition 30 passed with a temporary (as if) half percent sales tax which will do nothing for the "poor" teachers of Cali which have made this State number one in failed education of late.

However, like you said and not unexpected, Proposition 32 (Political Contributions by Payroll Deduction) went down, so the unions one that one.

If not for my wife loving her job, we would be long gone. I've done the math of selling our home, minus commission, moving expenses, ancillary costs, and especially her lack of income, and for the time being it makes more sense to pay the 1/2 percent sales costs because the additional State income taxes won't affect us at our level. That's why many will still reside in this socialist State.

That said above, if my wife can find a new job in Arizona or Texas or even Nevada, we are gone...gone...gone. Our home is paid off due to my investment in raw land (I developed) and other investments, there is nothing here for us. It all depends on if my wife can find employment elsewhere because she doesn’t want to retire at her young age of 55. I don’t blame her. It’s boring being retired.

Yes, and I am president of the faculty union where I teach. We are part of MESA (Maine State Employees Association) which some years ago affilated with the SEIU. I have been able to keep the moonbat MESA officals at bay. However, we
are getting a new field representative-she came out the Wisconsin Teachers Union.

A good number of my colleagues are looking to decertify from MSEA and affiliate elsewhere.

We have cost of living raises for all faculty.
We do not have tenure!! Every faculty member has a performance review every five years (sooner if there are problems with teaching) and may be retained with merit,
retained, or terminated.

"As many as 1000 Service Employees International Union (SEIU) workers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are considering going on strike on Thanksgiving eve in what is the busiest travel day of the year."

"And libs will support them, of course, because they think Thanksgiving is racist."

If you think about it, most travelers on the Holidays are able to afford their air tickets. They are working folks and this going to really p*ss them off. Messing with family arrangements is a bad thing no matter what the political persuasion. I actually hope the union does it so more can see how obstructive and unreasonable unions are.

I'm sure the 18,000 plus employees at Hostess are real happy about the Baker Union DELETING their jobs just before Christmas. Even the Teamsters had more sense and willing to take a small cut in pay and that is real news to me. Never seen the Teamsters so reasonable, but they lost - the Bakers Union won and those so-called bakers are so proud that they killed Hostess as they claim on various websites. "We showed them (Hostess)not to mess with us. That greedy company is now out of business."

Dumb sh*ts probably don't know that the obscene 99 weeks of Unemployment Insurance ends as of December 31st and reverts back to the States. But then they probably think that Bambi can extend it without Congressional approval. Oh, right, he can since Congress is now worthless and THE ONE has won again. What was I thinking? Commonsense? Sorry, still looking for planet Earth.

Time to find the STINKING trail that leads to 0bama. Tap his iphone or whatever the hell he uses to keep tabs on his union bosses. It’s not even his new term and he’s doubling-down on destroying more industries. Won’t be long until EVERY airline will be called ‘TSA Airlines’ and all airports are numbered sequentially with government-issued ID#’s.

I'm seeing posts on Facebook about how the Hostess executives got 60-100% raises while the company was mired in bankruptcy and still got raises before they closed. I don't know how true this is or if it is a complete fabrication.

Anybody know more?
